The XV-th International Congress on Mathematical Physics took place
in Rio de Janeiro, on August 5-11, 2006. I believe it was a very
successful and enjoyable meeting. It is very fortunate for our
community that Latin America, and especially Brazil, in decades has
become the place where all ?elds of intellectual activity which are
traditionally regarded as part of Mathematical Physics are
developing with steady pace and remarkable quality. Another
important aspect of this devel- mentis
thatbesidesareaswhichalreadyhaveworldwiderecognitionandlongsta- ing
tradition in Brazil such as Dynamical Systems, Statistical
Mechanics, Probab- ity Theory, etc. , there is intensive growth in
other directions such as String Theory and Algebraic Geometry.
Brazil's major universities and research institutes such as IMPA
and CBPF are successfully bringing up a new generation of
researchers in our ?eld. Thus it was especially pleasant to see
that among more than 500 participants of the Congress, the majority
was constituted by young researchers and graduate students. Given
the enormous range of subjects covered during the Congress, and the
- versity of scienti?c contributions, it would be pointless to
summarize the contents here-the quality is re? ected in these
pages. Traditionally, besides its very intense scienti?c program,
the Congress was the occasion for the award of the Henri Poincare
Prizes of the IAMP, sponsored by the Daniel Iagolnitzer Foundation.
The Laureates for the year 2006 were Ludwig Faddeev, David Ruelle
and Edward Witten.
